    Does anyone know of any companies selling semi-permanent oversize signs that will mount to a Freightliner Casacadia ('09) bumper? Or have suggestions to make mounting easier? Just seems to be nigh impossible to get straps to stay in place reliably, and I hate buying new signs all the time.

    There are Signs made on sheet metal that hinge in the center. They have brackets that you can mount on the bumper and slide the sign in and out of.

    Do you have tow hook mounts on the front? Make you your own bracket to slide into tow hooks

    That's what I did on a T800H I owned for a short time. Just remember when you measure your overall length to include the sign hanging out in front in the length.

    Do you know any of the manufacturers selling those brackets? I can't seem to find anything that mounts to an existing Cascadia bumper without replacing the whole bumper.
    The truck does have tow hooks, the push and turn to lock ones from factory. I was hoping to find something that would use those mounts to secure the sign/bracket but maybe just need to build my own.

    The brackets I bought from a mobile home equipment store in Indiana.
    Try this place or similar.

    Man all these rules of where signs need to go, how high they need to be, what they can and can't cover is just to petty if you ask me.. I realized you still have to abide by the state or provincial rules but man doesn't anyone thing it's ridiculous?

    What difference does it make if it's on top of the cab or on the bumper? Or if the plate covered 6% of the sign or not covering any of it?

    I think all these difference state and provinces need to give there heads a shake.... 1st the sign it to warn the public etc I would assume.. Do the public know what the "D" sign even means in Canada?? I think OVERSIZED should be the sign used all of the US and Canada and it should't matter where it goes. As long as you can read it and see it that's what should matter..

    Too much stupidity when it comes to this stuff... Plus if you can see a big load that is wider then the trailer then maybe you shouldn't be driving to begin with (talking about others on the road around the oversized truck)

    You will most likely have to make your own, I don't recall seeing any available that can buy
